Shailendra Pandya, joint director of Gyatri Seva Sansthan said, “The volunteers of NGO conducted last counseling of beggars today at Surajpol, Bapu Bazar, Hathipol and Delhi Gate. The volunteers requested beggars to go to old age homes supervised by administration or return to their native places or be prepared to face legal action.”
